Rainbow Bridge
Just
this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an
animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that
pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all
of our special friends so they can run and play together. There
is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm
and comfortable.All the animals who had been ill and old are
restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are
made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our
dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special
to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together,
but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the
distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You
have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never
to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face;
your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look
once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long
gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...
